Mission: The Blue Hills Community Health Alliance works to improve the overall health of local residents through increased coordination and delivery of existing services, expanded community actions, and the mobilization of community resources.
The CHNA has focused upon establishing a broader, more comprehensive approach to developing healthier communities in the 13 towns that comprise the Blue Hills Community Health Alliance. We have defined a healthy community below:
A Healthy Community supports the health & welfare of its members by:
- Embracing diversity through respect and concern;
- Knowing itself;
- Generating leadership everywhere;
- Connecting people and resources;
- Creating a sense of community;
- Shaping its future;
- Practicing ongoing dialogue;
- Planning for a safe and clean environment; and
- Implementing the design and use of communal spaces.
The focus is deliberately broad to encompass our ideals as well as the diversity of member agencies. By being broad and inclusive we hope to engage all of the CHNA members in working toward creating healthier communities throughout our thirteen CHNA towns
